Network security providers forced to be more transparent:
In the coming year, Fortinet predicts that network security providers will face tougher penalties and a greater scope of liability. Customers will no longer rely on the security of the operating system as advertised by the provider. They will demand solid proof of this. Fortinet is certain that if they fall victim to attacks, the provider will be held accountable. This development calls for improved transparency of processes in supply chain management (supply chain management), patch management (management of patches or code changes) and the secure development lifecycle (development cycle for trustworthy computer deployment).
